Went to a new doctor this morning. Spent 1.5hrs in the office, actually with a doctor or nurse for at least 75 minutes of that time. Felt I was listened to. I took a list of tests that have been run with me and they asked some questions about them. The PA said she's not sure if they can help me since the other specialists couldn't find anything. But she's going to try.
After taking my history, they did an EKG, lung capacity test and drew some blood. EKG was, surprise, normal. Blood work will be the standard stuff, a thyroid panel, and check some hormones. I am to bring the CDs of all my scans to my next appointment along with the reports. So will have to get over to the hospital before next Tuesday.
She suggested I start weaning, so that they can check if it's a prolactin tumor issue, something related to the pituitary gland. I was planning to start 3/1 anyway, so that's fine. Now to spend the next couple times figuring out how many times a day James is currently nursing so I can figure out how to cut down.
If she's unable to figure anything out, she mentioned going to the Mayo Clinic. So there's that option there at the end of the road. We'll see what the next few weeks bring.
